Alright, let's take a step back.

In your formula:

sqrt(tU*tU+tV*tV)-sqrt(bU*bU+bV*bV)

are tU and bU different variables or are t and b constants?

Are you trying to do a layer shear?  If so, how are you selecting
the layers?

Have you tried the formula Grids->Layer Wind Shear?

That will allow you to select the layers, and then select the
the U, V and Z components.  You'll need Z to calculate dz between
the layers.  If you just want a magnitude of the speed
difference, it might take a little Jython to do the appropriate
slicing.
